Round Cairn in Yorkshire (North)
The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) features a page for this tumulus - see their entry for Scale House, Rylstone, North Yorkshire, which gives directions for finding this site, together with a description taken from historical reference material and local folklore.
This round cairn is scheduled as Historic England List ID 1010451, which tells us: "The monument is in a low lying position near Scale House farmyard. It includes a turf covered cairn 1.5m high and 14m in diameter and a slight surrounding ditch 1.3m wide. The monument was excavated by Canon Greenwell in 1864."
The tumulus is also recorded as Pastscape Monument No. 46401, which adds: "Situated at SD 97095687, on a small hill spur, this well-preserved barrow measures 14.5m diameter and 1.2m maximum height. The remains of the ditch are too slight for measurement ... Excavation recovered a tree-trunk coffin."
